Getting started with Kaiporting
From the first call to your first salary: everything you need to start with peace of mind.
The steps
What are the steps to switch to umbrella employment?
- Discovery of umbrella employment with a Kaiporting advisor.
- Defining your needs: assignment, client, pace, personal situation.
- Proposal and simulation of your income in detail.
- Negotiation and approval of the final proposal.
- Contract and formalities: sending documents and signing contracts.
- Follow-up and support throughout your assignments.
Do I need an assignment before contacting Kaiporting?
No. You can contact us before signing with a client: to simulate your salary, compare umbrella employment with your current status or prepare your negotiation. A 20-minute discovery call is enough to answer your questions.
How do I get an income simulation?
Two options:
- Use the online simulator for a first estimate.
- Ask your account manager for a detailed simulation that takes your daily rate, pace and business expenses into account.
Kaiporting always gives you a detailed simulation before the assignment starts.
Which offer should I choose?
Kaiporting offers tailored packages, including a young freelancer offer and a senior consultant / IT expert offer. Your account manager guides you according to your experience, assignments and situation, including special cases such as an assignment abroad. See our offers.
Contracts and documents
Which contracts are signed?
- Employment contract between you and Kaiporting: fixed-term (up to 18 months including renewals) or permanent.
- Commercial service agreement between Kaiporting and the client company, setting the assignment, its duration and its price.
These contracts guarantee your social rights and secure the relationship with your client.
Will my clients accept working with an umbrella company?
Yes. Umbrella employment is well recognised by companies, especially for intellectual services (IT, consulting, training). Large accounts even find it reassuring: no risk of contract requalification and no legal risk.
Am I committed for a minimum period?
No. There is no minimum commitment. You are bound by an employment contract during your assignments and free to stop at any time.
